Again, great stuff and when the time comes you can use it to press the axles back in.

If everything is cleaned up, the axles should slide in and out by hand. Tightening the nut locks the bearings and spacer and seal tracks etc, up, and makes it a rigid assembly.

Colin, whats the plan with the colour scheme? One of them would look very snazzy in Caunter Scheme

Sorry David, I was just being smart The plates give access to the electrical that is supplied to the turret as per the very informative 97 drawings I have been lucky to aquire.
Hi Chris, as these little tanks had specific names given to them (Wombird and Bowerbat ) oops! no I mean "Wombat" and "Bowerbird" I think I need to keep them as original as I can and paint them as you see there which is Khaki Green No3 All information I have to date is they were the dark green when first brought here and painted with the Aust green after. Great photos by the way!

Fair enough, especially if you have evidence of the original scheme. Doesn't mean i can't hope though...
